The information embargo on Radeon RX 9060 XT test results has been lifted. Let’s take a look at how the new Radeon stacks up against the competing GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti. The 16GB variant is priced closer to Nvidia’s 8GB models and offers a better price-to-performance ratio than the 16GB RTX 5060 Ti. The more affordable Sapphire Pulse RX 9060 XT model adds great thermal and acoustic performance on top of that.

On GeForce cards, you can also enable the generally superior DLSS, which reconstructs images using AI from lower-sample frames through super resolution. For RT Ultra, we use DLAA and the Balanced mode; for RT Overdrive with path tracing, both DLAA and DLSS in Performance mode are used. GeForce RTX 40 cards support generation of an intermediate frame, and the RTX 50 series is also tested in Multi Frame Generation x4 mode, which inserts three generated frames between two rendered ones, increasing frame rates several-fold.
